    Mine is God Given By Nine Inch Nails. When I first heard it, it startled me at how closely the lyrics related to the org...
    To me it sounds like you bring a bible study to the hall, and you basically hurry him to believe you, change their life to fit your definitions, and get baptized because the end is so near (no more time to waste). After that, the study begins to ask questions (how can this be right?) and is immediately told to get out, and that they won't be getting into the "promised land".... here:

     Hey man
    Please don't make a sound
    Take a look around
    Can't you see what's right in front of you?
    Aah
    Have a little taste
    No more time to waste
    You don't wanna get left behind, because it's all coming down right now
    Now—how
    Hard is it to see?
    Put your faith in me
    I sure wouldn't want to be
    Praying to the wrong piece of wood
    You should
    Get where you belong
    Everything you know is wrong
    Come on, sing along everybody now

    (God Given)
    And He gives us sight
    And we see the light
    And it burns so bright
    Now we know we're right
    When His kingdom come
    And Thy will be done
    We have just begun
    We're the chosen ones

    I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
    His mouth and He wants me to tell you

    Wait
    Step into the light
    How can this be right?
    I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
    Guess you can not win
    With the color of your skin
    You won't be getting in to the Promised Land
    Besides
    This is just another case
    You people still don't know your place
    Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
    We are the divine
    Separated from the swine
    Come on, sing along everybody now

    (God Given)
    And He gives us sight
    And we see the light
    And it burns so bright
    Now we know we're right
    When His kingdom come
    And Thy will be done
    We have just begun
    We're the chosen ones
    And He gives us sight
    And we see the light
    And it burns so bright
    Now we know we're right
    When His kingdom come
    And Thy will be done
    And the Father and the Holy Son
    We're the chosen ones

    I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
    His mouth and He wants me to tell you

    How about the best songs for a Witness? A song from Van Morrison's Wavelength album: "Kingdom Hall". Or maybe Roy Orbison's "Working for the Man". Police's "Every Breath You Take" (I'll be watching you ...)

    One of my favorite bands, Interpol. Their new album is on the way in another month or so. I can't wait. This is the first single, which I didn't know even had a video until searching for a link to the song to add to this thread.
